Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes’ rules restricting activity around polling places cannot be enforced. The judges let stand another rule related to what happens if counties don’t certify their election results. The ruling will shape Arizona’s next Election Procedures Manual, which instructs election officials on how to comply with state election laws. Courts have found that counties have a nondiscretionary duty to certify their results on a timeline set out in state law. Cochise County supervisors have said in recent months that the law on their non-discretionary duty to certify results is not clear, and they want to challenge it in court.
